List of Icelandic Names “E”

This is the next installment of my Icelandic names list. All names are either approved Icelandic human names or collected names of Icelandic animals. All names may not be approved for Icelandic horse registries. The list is evolving and I do add to it occasionally. There will be more male names added at some point, but it being the “E” year for sheep, I wanted to get some of them listed on the site.

Here is a quick pronunciation guide for the letters that we do not have in English:

á – ah, as in ah-ha

é – yeh, as in the “ye” in yell

í – long e, as in eat

ó – long o, as in oh

ú – oo, as the “ui” in fruit

ý – long e, as in eat

þ – th, as in the “th” in those

ð – th, as in the “th” in those

ö – uh, as the “u” in sun

j – j us put with the letter d sometimes and it sounds like a “y.” For example, Djákni is pronounced “dee-yahk-nee.”
